They hurt, but you can ask for a local anesthetic in the site you are going to have your injection.

Is this for plantar fasciitis? If it is I had the injection two years ago.

I can honestly say it's the most painful thing I have experienced and if it hadn't been administered at the time it was suggested and I'd had time to research it I may not have had it done.

my ex husband used to have them in his ankle, actually he probably still does lol they was brilliant before the injection he could hardly walk after he was fine, lasted about 6 months, he did say the pain was not very nice but worth putting up with

Expect pain for around 12 hours. But not that bad. Good luck.

Take a cuddly toy and a stick to bite down on. Pain usually subsides in a few days

I'm having one in my pelvis on Wednesday. 3rd one. Painful as fuck and I have to rest for 24 hours afterwards and then it does the good stuff and will mean I am fit for the weekend!

Hello, i had this injection a few years back in the heel of my foot. To be honest i was in so much pain by the time i got the appointment , i would have been happy for the dr to cut my foot off!! Lol.. Yes the injection did hurt, however the relief i had after suffering months in agony made it bearable. Remember the dr saying please dont kick me in the face... I just braced myself and swore!! Deffinatly worked for me and was almost instant . Good luck and its well worth it

Yes it us for Plantar ......

Thanks for the advice, now looking forward to it even less. Still if it gives me 6 months respite I would have in a heart beat.

Had one for frozen shoulder a few years back.

Remember how you felt when Bambi's mum got shot

Worth it in the long run though.

I found having a Cortisone injection hurt far less than having the fluid drained off my knee (which didn't hurt until they got the last bit, then it hurt like a bastard...nearly took the poor nurses head off with my other leg!)

The injection itself is painful but I could walk home on it immediately afterwards and there is a very warm sensation experienced.

It is definitely worth having done for the long term results.

Have them on a regular basis under X-ray and they don't bother me.

Had 2 in my knee the other month and hurt like a bastard.

Mums had them a fair few times in her heels and says she's used to it now so doesn't really feel it that bad.

I used stretches and massages to help with my Plantar fascia.

Guess I caught it early or very lucky!

I had them for Plantar, the first time it hurt like hell, and I have 15 tattoos, I kicked the doctor in the head!! In my defence he didn't warn me he was about to stick it in!!

I had them in both heels 2 weeks apart. I've had them both done 3 times now, and they didn't work the last time, so the doctor is suggesting laser surgery.

With a cracking view

Had a few for Plantar years ago.

Stung initially, until the loal took effect, and was able to drive home just in time for the local to wear of.

Then stung for a day or so.

Didn't work for me, and ended up having it surgically released.
